[Evaluation of home-oxygen-therapy for old tuberculosis cases, especially emphasis on the medical support for more
Abstract:
We investigated the home-oxygen-therapy (HOT) for old tuberculosis patients. Tuberculosis cases are 100 of 296 all home-oxygen-therapy during the period from Aug. 1986 to Dec. 1997. 36 dead cases of these 100 were evaluated. Average period for HOT was 988 days (32.9 months). The mean rate of home stay was 78.9%. HOT is very useful for supporting comfortable home stay life. Our Medical respiratory Care (MRC) system is consist of primary education on HOT start, respiratory rehabilitation, mass education, annual rehabilitation trip and home nursing. Our MRC team is consist of 2 doctors, 12 nurses, 3 physical therapists, a dietician, a pharmacist and a medical clerk. We consider that it's important to support more comfortable life of the patients with chronic respiratory distress syndrome due to old tuberculosis.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
